The credit for bringing the attention OF the
STATE 10 the british treatment OF prisoners
confined here is due q correspondent, Mr..

earibipg proof OF Peck's dOings. Mr..
Boyd has prepared ten charges, accusing
him OF neglect OF duty, drunken
ness, neglect Of sick prisoners, inhu-
man cruelty, violation of the laws
regarding the management Of the peniten-
tiary, and other equally atrociOuS acts, the
whole making a chapter OF crime and cru
city impossible to believe but Tor the in-
controvortible proofs in Mr.. Boyd's pos
session.
After spirited debate the proposed con-
SiitutiOnal amendment prohibiting the
manufacture or sale Of Intoxicating liquors

on judiciary, where it will very probably
receive IFS death-blow. This fate 1t has
